Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Import External Images

This vBulletin 4 product imports external images in your posts from external servers or paths into a specific path, normally your forum's image folder.

Differently than the previous product Image Cache for vBulletin 3.x., it parses the posts at regular intervals for new images and replaces the external references in the background. Also, instead of using only a single folder, it creates folders for years and months, making it much easier to handle large quantities of images. The source and destination image URL's are stored into database, too, avoiding unnecessary duplicates.

It moves and optionally converts images from one place to another. It is a handy tool in order to keep your images local to your forums.

Version 1.0.4 is temporarily in BETA stage until the users have confirmed the newly requested features.
Version 1.0.5 is still in BETA stage. It adds a new bunch of additional features, one of which allows you to test your mathematical understanding ... and a few other to fine-tune CURL and socket timeouts, and resizing on the fly of too large images. If you don't know what these options do, please leave them at their default values.

Where do I do this? I can't find iei_parsed

The product stopped working automatically for me today but when I run the cron job manually it works just fine.

does this mod work??

I tried it, but the images are still linked externally from image uploaders...

is there something I'm missing here?

It does work. I've used it for years without issues.

Well, until now.

Thanks for the feedback, but still in my case it is not working!!

I guess there is something wrong here. it is either the version I'm using (v1.0.5) or a misconfiguration !!

If your server cannot access external servers or if external servers do not allow downloading images, they remain as is. Also, it may take some time to catch up.

Is there only one hook? All I see is: Add and set iei_parsed field accordingly for eventual image parsing

I don't understand why when I click the cron manually it works but it just won't run automatically while all other crons work.

It's very weird.
